Description
Good day guys,Well, before anyone uses its naughty little mind, I must pin it down that this post is about a knife, nothing else
Ok, so I continue my recently found medieval line with a Seax, made for the poor peasants, as I imagine it. There are no fancy damascus this time, or elaborate carving. Nothing a man would begrudge, when the time comes to use it as a tool. Because that is what this is, a hardy, tough tool, which longs for action!
The blade is forged of 5160 with two blood groves on one side, aged a little bit for more character. It is 27 cm long, 4 mm thick and 41 mm at its widest point.
Its handle is roughly carved oak, with antler bolster and iron fittings. The iron gives balance to the large blade and also proves efficient when cracking nuts or anything else a proper viking would like to crack
The overall length is 39 cm.
All in a sturdy leather sheath, made of thick cowhide.
155 usd, with all fees included

Have you seen the Windlass Battlecry "Maldon Seax" yet?

Yours looks a lot better. Windlass' has a sword hilt on it, for some reason.

Weird idea to put a sword hilt on a seax, but on the other hand who could say for sure that it didn't happened in viking times too

I get the feeling the reason is so some moron doesn't slice his hand open. Here in the usa gerber had to recall their machete for that a few years ago

The funny thing is that I have seen both types with a seax mounted on a viking style sword hilt. The guy in the museum told that seax's without handles were more like tools that can be used as weapons in a jiffy.

Agreed!
Good thing that almost everything can be used as a weapon if needed.

Very nice. Though the lack of a guard kinda takes something away from it IMO. Mostly because I can see my hand slipping on any blood on the handle and going right onto the razor sharp edge. Still a great knife.

Yes, it has that possibility if you are not careful, but seax's historically don't have guards, I must stick to that, or it looses it's "seaxiness"
